At first, there was no reply. But then, you gradually became aware of a faint hum, vibrating the air in an almost painful, jarring way. The uneasy feeling grew, along with a sense of something approaching from far away.
Turning, you saw that the wall on your right had a dark spot on it, writhing like a living scribble. It grew, emanating a kind of black mist, until it was as tall as you. The hum got louder, hurting your ears. And then, a thin, pale boy stepped out of the blackness. He looked about fifteen years old, with bony wrists and an unsteady walk. His clothes were loose, shabby, and colorless, and his hair was dusty and matted. His eyes were completely black, and no light came from them. He smiled. It was the least friendly smile you'd ever seen.
"Hey," he drawled. His voice was rough and quiet.
(Whew, went ahead and wrote a book there XD)
My eyes widened in surprise I backed up against the wall into a defensive position creating a ball with my magic, aiming it at the boys head but not shooting yet. I kept my stance as it drew nearer slightly, “Who are you?” I said forcing confidence into my voice when in reality there was none.
(Only got a few more mins btw)
(Ok)
He leaned against the wall, still smiling. It seemed an effort for him to stand on his own. "Name's Morgan Piper. You don't have to be afraid. I'm just here to escort you to my boss, Mr. Blake."
I grinned sweetly and lowered my magic, “Well in that case you can go ahead,” I threw my hands up, “actually on second thought no.”
(I’ve go to go Bye x)
"One second." His hand whipped up to stop you. It was a much quicker movement than you had expected from a boy with the attitude of cold molasses, and it suggested that he wasn't as vulnerable as he pretended. "I got a message for you. Hear me out?"
(I have to go to bed soon, so if you return and I don't respond then that's why)
“I think I’ll pass,” I kneed him in the stomach causing him to double over in pain. He let go of my arm and took a step back and I kicked him against the wall.
He gave a strangled cough, which turned into a snarl. For a second you thought he would try to attack you. But then, he relaxed against the wall and laughed.
"Thought so," he rasped. "You really are one of us, Maddie."
I kicked him again. “Never.”
He rolled away, creating a shield of shadows around himself. "Sure you are. Dangerous, powerful, wronged beyond imagining. We know what happened to you, and Master Blake wants to help. What use do you have for those memories? Don't you want to forget?"
“If only losing my memories didn’t mean my aura as well.” I kept my defence.
He snorted. "Please. What lies have you heard? Your aura regenerates itself all the time, otherwise I would've completely sucked yours away by now. Nah, it's a totally harmless process except for the memory loss. Blake says he'll even let you have a set of private rooms, just like a princess."
(I have to go in a second, btw)
(Ok)
“Private rooms? It’s not like I would be staying there long!” This guy was insane.
"Mmm, depends on how much fate-altering energy Blake wants. Sometimes it's days, sometimes it's years. Either way, I recommend a long term stay. We could teach you your true power, how to use it to its fullest. Maybe your friends could come visit, once it's safe for them."
(Allright bye)
(Goodbye)
Now it was my turn to snort. “Years! You’re both crazy if you think I’m staying years. Still going to pass on your offer.” My magic was burning with my anger towards these people.
Morgan shrugged. "Fine. Just stay overnight, I don't really care. Honestly, Blake's a friggin' god, he can take the energy from you as fast as he wants. But don't think that you can get out of this entirely. I might be physically weak, but I could crush you any day, and don't you forget it. Like it or not, you're going through with this."
I laughed. “Damn you really are delusional. You would have to drag me there kicking and screaming, why can’t you get that through your skull?”
His smile held for a few more seconds, then dropped like a dead thing. "You think you're pretty tough, don't ya?" His voice became slightly venomous. The meager light in the room dimmed even more, making everything go grey. The nasty hum started up again, droning like a giant wasp.
(Just to be clear, Morgan's main powers are sapping his enemy's physical and mental strength, and hypnotizing people to do his will. Which one do you think would work better for the purposes of this scene, if we are to have him win this fight?)
( Sapping Maddie’s physical and mental strength, I think)
(Got it)
You felt a sudden weight on you, as if gravity had increased. You began to see things, shadows that whispered at you and eyes staring from the walls and ceiling. It was hard to breath, or think. waves of fear and nausea emanated from Morgan, who lifted his hand and smirked at you. His spindly fingers was stained pitch black. You noticed, in a brief moment moment of distraction, that his pale arm was covered in thin grey scars.
I tried to stay standing But I felt like I had no strength in my body. My mind was swarming with pictures and my ears filled with words. Words I only just had the strength to hear. My mind felt like it had been switched off, I couldn’t form anything with my power. My knees buckled from underneath me and they hit the ground, hard. I lifted my head to see Morgan smiling grimly at me. He had won. I felt my eyes start to close but before I did, I managed to turn my tracker on without him knowing and hid it up my arm. Then everything went back.
